De-clawing is no manicure, it's big-cat mutilation. Yet despite general condemnation, some animal exhibits like tiger cub photo op encounters still de-claw animals. 

Now, after PETA sued a vet, Rick Pelphrey, and a show runner, Tim Stark, a breakthrough.

Last week in Indiana, a judge created a legal precedent that makes de-clawing a violation of the Endangered Species Act. 

PETA's Brittany Peet says it should have the effect of stopping declawing.

Angela Scott was 19 when she first volunteered for Chimparty. She's the whistleblower who got the evidence that exposed the animal cruelty in the Netflix documentary, "Chimp Crazy." Scott tells Emil Guillermo about the conditions chimps lived under, how the breeding process strips mother chimps from their young. And beyond the story of Tonka, there's the sad story about Conner, the Hallmark chimp.

Scott talks about what wasn't in the show, revealing more about Mike and Connie Casey. And what she thinks of Tonia Haddix.

PETA veterinarian Dr. Heather Rally speaks with host Emil Guillermo about how she toured rabbit farms in China with fashion execs. What they saw was jaw-dropping cruelty to the animals who were used to source the clothing firms angora garments. The tour opened the eyes of the execs who changed their policy. But the supplier/farms continue to do business with other companies who look the other way and use the rabbits to make angora clothing.

Don't condone the cruelty. Take action now.

Listen to Dr. Rally's eyewitness account. Then see for yourselves. 

Look at the PETA Reveals video on PETA.org.

Tell companies to stop using angora. And as a consumer, use your power and don't buy angora products.

You have a choice this winter.

The animals don't.

Amber Canavan of PETA campaigns talks with host Emil Guillermo about California's Prop. 12, approved by voters on election day with more than 60 percent of the vote. But while Prop. 12 appears to set a minimum standard for space for animals in factory farms, it doesn't rule out abuse and cruelty for animals raised for food.

Canavan talks about what could have made a stronger Prop. 12 and how its minimum space provisions won't end cramped quarters for the animals.

And it doesn't end cruelty. 

You can vote every day for the animals every time you have a meal--if you go vegan.

"Chimp Crazy" continues to be one of the most streamed shows on the planet. So we reprise this episodes because it shows the power of the whistleblower.

PETA was not involved in the artistic choices of the filmmakers of "Chimp Crazy."

But PETA wouldn't have been able to successfully free the chimps had it not been for the courage of Angela Scott.

Scott was 19 when she first volunteered for Chimparty. She's the whistleblower who got the evidence that exposed the animal cruelty in the Max documentary, "Chimp Crazy."

Scott tells her story to Emil Guillermo, and reveals how much she loved the chimps, and what she really thinks about Mike and Connie Casey. And Tonia Haddix.
